The Rain

rrodriguez

I hear the rain tiptoeing;

I hear footsteps on top

Giving the thirsty ground

Spoonful of drops;

‘Tis a hypnotizing noise

The drip, drip, drippety, drop

 

And when the rain is gone,

 

After the rain has stopped

Leaving the clouds

frail and angel-pale;

A radiant light with lustrous-gold;

Shines with warmth the land to hold.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Puerto Ricans who live in the countryside love to hear the raindrops fall on their tin roof. Being a tropical island, we get a lot of yearly rain. Many a times I've fallen asleep hearing the drip, drip, drippety, drop of the rain.

          Thank you ww, you do have a way with words... I like you comment. I can modify it to read, for a short poem, "a symphony of raindrops is your lovely voice". Just thinking...

            RR sounds good go for it. I have a poem called a symphony of raindrops , but it's about a dream.
            I do so like your poem though!

              Amigo, tengo un granero con techo de hojalata. (Lamina metal) Me encanta escuchar las gotas de lluvia en el techo. Que tus cosechas de la vida sea abundante. Lo disfrute mucho.
